If you require delivery, we do have a $150 minimum order for deliveries up to 50 miles from the farm and a $250 minimum order for deliveries from 51 - 75 miles from the farm. 

What are the weekly deadlines for placing orders and delivery?

We post availability on Tuesday at 9:30 am for the upcoming week.  We take orders until the following Sunday evening. 

How do I know what flowers you will be growing in the future?

Due to mother nature we can’t always predict exactly when certain flowers will be available.  We do provide a Seasonal Availability List that can give you an idea of when flowers and foliage will be available. 

Can we pre-order flowers?

We are often asked if we take “pre-orders” (we call them WISH LISTS). Here is an overview of what that means and how this works.

Obviously due to the nature of farming, guaranteeing a “pre-order” in advance of when a product might be flushing is challenging and almost sounds misleading since we stress that an order is not confirmed until the week before pickup/delivery. We happily accept wish lists from designers who have ordered from us in the past. We operate on a first come/first serve way. This means that if you need 10 bunches of White Cosmos for an August wedding, or 15 bunches of Coral Amaranthus for a September event, you can put in a wish list now and we will be in touch the week before to let you know how many stems we can provide.

We often receive mood boards with wish lists and this is SO HELPFUL because it allows us to make suggestions for interesting flowers we may be growing / can grow that might be a nice fit.

Do we provide Custom Growing?

The short answer is YES!

While so much of our crop planning, seed and plug ordering, and field layouts are done over the winter, it is NOT too late for late summer and fall adjustments. As we outline above, if you know now that you will have a need for a large quantity of an annual flower such as Cosmos, Zinnia, Amaranthus, Gomphrena, Celosia, Sunflowers, in particular colors, let’s discuss!
